Agroforestry practices like pruning trees to control the light flux crops produce every year a large volume of branches which is valorized by farmers as mulching or energy fuel. However, according literature, wood shows higher rates polyphenols than stem and this can open some new perspectives for branch exploitation. In study, properties (density, mechanical properties, extractive content deca...

Treatment of wood with various physical and chemical factors can change the number parameters, which also lead to changes in resistance wood-destroying fungi. This study evaluates effects hydrothermal treatments (additives Fe2O3 or FeCl3 without commercial tannins, additives fresh wood) on decay mould fungi modified Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), Norway spruce (Picea abies), Douglas fir (Pseudo...

The main goal of this talk is to review a new method’ for predicting, from QCD, the weak matrix elements that are needed to describe the semileptonic decays; B -+ DePe,,B + D’ec, and Ab + A,eti,. The method also relates B + pe& semileptonic decay to D + pZuc semileptonic decay. Since these are exclusive decays involving hadronic states nonperturbative strong interaction physics plays a role. Th...
